As a silver lining, you think this could stabilize GPU prices? Or at least CPU prices?
If there's less RAM/SSDs to build PCs with, then people will buy fewer GPUs/CPUs for them.
Nvidia is already diverting "midrange" gaming GPU production to AI.
CPUs and motherboards might become cheaper, but I doubt it. Companies are much more willing to sit on inventory these days.
Yeah :(
Still though, Intel has their own fabs not really restricted by any of this. And not as easy to spin down as PCB making. So the CPU is likely to be the cheapest of anything.
